SAPIEN M3 EFS Trial Summary

This trial will study whether it is safe to implant the SAPIEN M3 System in patients with severe MR, and will also provide information to help plan future clinical studies using this system.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with severe mitral valve regurgitation who are at high risk for heart surgery, stable on heart failure meds, and not pregnant. They must understand the study and consent to it. Excluded are those with other valve issues, mechanical aortic valves, history of certain cardiovascular events or procedures within specified time frames, participation in another study, refusal of blood products, specific cardiac conditions that could interfere with treatment effectiveness or safety.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The Edwards SAPIEN M3 System is being tested to see if it's safe and works well for treating severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR). The trial will help design future studies by collecting initial data on this new medical device's performance.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects aren't listed here specifically for the SAPIEN M3 System, similar interventions may include complications like bleeding at the catheter site, infection risks from invasive procedures, potential damage to nearby heart structures during implantation.
